DarkaFi delivers DeFi-native inverse tokens — giving you the power to profit from what everyone else gets wrong.
DarkaFi turns short‑selling into a one‑click, on‑chain token experience. Mint a SHORT‑XYZ token, hold it in any wallet, and watch its price rise when the market falls—no margin, no liquidations, full transparency.
Roughly 80% of altcoins co-move with Bitcoin—especially on down days.
Crypto’s daily volatility is ~5× equities—drawdowns tend to be faster and deeper.
There have been 50+ six-sigma days in the last decade—left-tail shocks are a recurring feature.
DarkCoin the first token designed to move inversely to the broader crypto market. It links directly to our on-chain short vaults: when vaults realize profits, the protocol schedules buy-backs to contract supply; when vaults take losses, controlled sell-backs expand supply—creating a transparent, rules-based counterweight rather than a synthetic derivative.
The goal is simple: a programmatic hedge you can hold in any wallet. DarkCoin is currently in active development and slated for 2027 release.
Inverse tokens that rise when assets fall. Direct, transparent downside protection.
Basket shorts that hedge entire sectors. Broad, diversified downside protection.
Relative shorts across assets. Profit when one underperforms another.
ShortOne Tokens are physically backed inverse tokens that make short exposure to digital assets transparent and reliable.
Each token reflects real market activity: the asset is borrowed, sold on the open market, and secured with stable collateral. When the price falls, the vault repurchases it more cheaply, increasing the token’s value.
If the price rises, collateral absorbs the loss, reducing the token’s value. It’s a direct, verifiable way to benefit from downturns while maintaining full control in your own wallet.
ShortIndex Tokens extend the mechanics of ShortOne Tokens across multiple assets. Each token provides inverse exposure to a curated index of digital assets.
Assets in the index are borrowed, sold, and collateralized. When the index falls, the vault repurchases more cheaply and the token gains value. If it rises, collateral absorbs the loss.
It’s a simple, verifiable way to short entire sectors through one transparent token.
ShortPair Tokens create inverse exposure between two assets, letting investors short one relative to another. For example, a ShortETH-BTC Token gains value when ETH lags BTC — whether through a deeper drop or a weaker rally.
Each token is physically backed: the vault shorts the target asset and holds its benchmark pair. In this case, ETH is shorted while BTC is held, tying performance directly to real market movements.
It’s a transparent, on-chain way to express relative strength views or hedge portfolio imbalances between assets.
Users deposit collateral into a DarkaFi vault.
The vault executes real market actions with that collateral to create the desired short exposure.
Tokens are minted to represent this physically backed position, which users can hold, trade, or redeem.
Discover the core components that enable secure, non-custodial, and composable short exposure to crypto assets. Built for transparency, efficiency, and seamless DeFi integration.
Shorting isn’t just betting against the market — it’s a vital tool for managing risk, balancing portfolios, and unlocking new strategies. Through physical backing, on-chain control, transparent safeguards, and composability, we’re establishing a foundation for DeFi that’s both robust and adaptable.
Whether you’re hedging exposure, exploring arbitrage, or integrating short products into broader strategies, these pillars ensure a consistent, trust-minimized experience across the ecosystem.
